Why do I crave meat?

[Katymac]

I had HM chicken nuggets for tea - lots was full

I am sitting here absolutely desparate for either chicken stir fry or a bacon sandwich or a steak bagette with onions

I NEED some meat.....why??

[Chloe55]

Are you preggers?

[Nikki76]

Are you anaemic at all??

[NotQuiteCockney]

I'd think low iron, or you need more protein?

[Katymac]

Not pregnant

Could be aneamic - doubt it tho'

Is it the salt?

[colditz]

here is a nicely balanced article which may inform you

[colditz]

Particularly appreciated "He is loosing IQ"

[MrsApron]

rofl at Colditz. have you been saving that one?

[Katymac]

I think I'd rather have the addiction

[NotQuiteCockney]

OMG colditz that page is incredible. Is it ... serious? It can't be, surely ...

I mean, vinegar and ginger are in the same category as drugs?

[NotQuiteCockney]

Since when are (nutjob) Christians opposed to people eating meat? Wtf?

[NotQuiteCockney]

The bible includes meat! Lots of it!

[colditz]

No, no, honestly, I found it just now. It's marvelous, isn't it?

I have nothing else to say about it. It's removed my words.

[NotQuiteCockney]

What's the difference between 'spices' and 'herbs'? Freaks.

[NotQuiteCockney]

Next time someone's going mad against aspartame, I will use that link. (I don't really have it, but don't think it's poison, either.)

[Katymac]

I always though (but am prepared to be wrong) that herbs were savory and spices sweet - with some exception obviously

But I really need meat atm

[colditz]

Well, it's because spices creat addictive alcohol in the digestive system, destroying it utterly.

[Katymac]

Now aspartame gives me the squits - even if I don't know I've had any

[colditz]

have some meat if you need some, KM. I think if it is a need that strong, you should go with it.

[colditz]

Don't get drunk though!

[NotQuiteCockney]

I thought spices were dried seeds and herbs were dried leaves? Ok, I will look it up.

[Katymac]

I think I will - but it will be my 4th meal

[NotQuiteCockney]

Katymac, didn't you say you'd lost lots of weight recently? So it's hardly like you're piling on the pounds. If your body wants something, have it.

Ok, I looked it up, traditionally, spices came from tropical and subtropical countries, while herbs were from temperate climates, and are generally green and leafy (basil, thyme, mint, etc).

But now the terms are largely interchangeable.

[FrannyandZooey]

Oh brilliant

I like the way there are several germs of truth in there just to totally fuck with your mind

it reminds me of the anti-protein man, do you remember?

[NotQuiteCockney]

Ice cream ferments in the blood?!?

[NotQuiteCockney]

I don't think I've seen the anti-protein man.

Yes, there are bits of sense in there. But then, substitute honey for sugar .
